Here is someone.

I make and run websites for CancerCare, an awesome nonprofit in New York City which provides free services like counseling, information, and financial aid for people affected by cancer. (If you or a loved one is impacted by a cancer diagnosis and need somewhere to turn for help, call 1-800-813-HOPE.) While my job has me doing everything from Ruby on Rails development to Photoshop, I specialize in front-end user interface design. In other words, I design web pages and parts of pages to facilitate the goals of CancerCare’s visitors and the organization itself. If you’d like, you can view a sample of the work I do.

That’s me when I’m wearing slacks and shiny shoes. Off the clock, I read books about the things I find interesting, especially philosophy, design, media studies, and what it means to be human—that last topic is best covered through fiction—and I write to make sense of the things I learn. I also enjoy craft beer and keeping a tank of aquatic friends happy.

I am currently most excited about:

• Ruby on Rails
• Understanding the ways in which technology both frees and limits us
• Proust's In Search of Lost Time
